this is fairfax county in northern virginia, and prince william county in northern virginia. two areas that have been moving toward democrats -- have been very popular for democrats in recent cycles. we see that as of those districts have been shifting toward democrats, what has changed now is the suburban districts in philadelphia and new york and chicago appear to be moving back toward republicans, or at least moving in their direction this cycle. i think that is what is different this time. the candidates obviously have not changed. but what also has changed is keith fimian. he was attacked in 2008 by gerry connolly as being too social conservative for the district that may be more moderate on abortion and guns. but this time keith fimian is also running as a tea party candidate. well this suburban district elect a tea party type? that will be a test of the tea party strength. if he can indeed when this cycle when he did not before, i think it would be a very, very telling indicator for republicans across the country as a tea party social secured -- social conservative cou
